The public's perception of your show is what it is, and you don't get to complain how people perceive your show or talk about it.

You can be a great reporter and not be such a great talk show host.

You never get to pick how you get pinned and how people perceive you.

Everyone knows that there are more people watching any given show than is being registered by the Nielsen system.

People often ask me about what constitutes a nerd-friendly show - like, does it have to have sci-fi elements? But I think it's just a show that satisfies the secret craving we all have to be obsessed with something and not feel at all stupid about it.

If your ratings are high and there's money being made, you're allowed to be a perfectionist in television.
